Could you be the next Pope?

Let's face it, my dachshund, Fionn, will never be pope. My kids laughed when they saw him with the hat on. We all know that only the upper echelon of the Roman Catholic Church have the highest chance of being considered for the papacy. Cardinals and well known bishops get the serious consideration. The last non-cardinal elected pope was Urban VI in 1379, over 600 years ago. Sound familiar? The last time a pope resigned was over 600 years ago. Maybe the time is now that the College of Cardinal make an out-of-the box choice. Should we have an American pope? Someone from Africa or Asia? Younger pope? Or even more controversial, how about a lay person, or even someone who is married? God created us, God loves us. Because of this love, we're capable to love back. Because we can love, we can show others love and share the relationship we have with our loving God. Whoever you are, the next Holy See, teach us, show us, love us.
